Sport Management

Graduates will leave the program well-prepared to pursue career goals as well as additional academic training. In fact, the graduate program in Sport Management has experienced a growth rate of 300% over the last six years. The UCM Sport Management program has a diverse group of faculty with a rich and varied background of teaching and professional experience in the field.

The UCM undergraduate Sport Management degree offers outstanding experiential learning opportunities. Being established in a strategically favorable geographic location, UCM is close to many sport management agencies and practicing professionals. Students have ready-access to many high school and college teams as well as hundreds of independently owned sport-oriented businesses. Students will obtain “real-world" experiences from many of their classes and related experiences. Opportunities to work within sport organizations or interact with agency representatives in a class session, seminar, or workshop will not only assist students in what they know, but also facilitate professional networking. Sport Management faculty members provide personal attention to students in a way that students not only enjoy the educational journey, but also will advance toward a meaningful career after graduation.
